A monk of the Kamakura period. He promoted the idea of vinaya (principle) within the old Kamakura Buddhism. His pen name was Gakuritsu. He was from Yamato (Nara Prefecture). In 1212 (Kenryaku 2), Gedatsu Shonin (Jokei) selected 20 monks to revive vinaya, and he was one of them. He studied Kegon under Myoe and Vinaya under Kainyo (date of birth and death unknown), and in 1236 (Kasei 2), he took the precepts of the Mahayana by self-vow in front of the Buddha in the Great Buddha Hall of Todaiji Temple together with Eison and others. During the Ninji era (1240-1243), he bestowed the Bodhisattva precepts on Emperor Shijo and resided at Toshodaiji Temple by imperial order. Emperor Godaigo posthumously gave him the title of Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. Kakusho was said to be the reincarnation of Ganjin, and made great contributions to the revival of the Vinaya, and had many disciples.

鎌倉時代の僧。鎌倉旧仏教のなかにあって、律(りつ)の思想を鼓吹した。字(あざな)は学律。大和(やまと)(奈良県)の人。1212年(建暦2)に解脱上人(げだつしょうにん)(貞慶(じょうけい))が律を復興するため20人の僧を選んだが、彼はその一人に選ばれた。明慧(明恵)(みょうえ)上人に華厳(けごん)を、戒如(かいにょ)(生没年不詳)に律を学び、1236年(嘉禎2)には叡尊(えいぞん)らとともに東大寺の大仏殿で自誓受戒(じせいじゅかい)(戒師がいないとき、仏前で自ら誓って大乗戒を受けること)した。仁治(にんじ)年間(1240~1243)には四条(しじょう)天皇に菩薩(ぼさつ)戒を授け、また勅(ちょく)により唐招提寺(とうしょうだいじ)に住した。後醍醐(ごだいご)天皇は彼を大悲(だいひ)菩薩と諡(おくりな)した。覚盛は鑑真(がんじん)の再来といわれ、律の復興に果たした功績は大きく、弟子も多かった。 [由木義文 2017年6月20日] [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
